'Tis the Season

So it's that time of year once again, family portrait time. This session was actually Claire's fourth session in her year long program, but we decided to do some family portraits as well. I can't believe this is her fourth session- that first year goes by so fast!

Sherri & Jason

Sherri and Jason were married at the Valley Ho a few weeks ago. For those of you who don't know, the Valley Ho has a very 70's retro vibe, lots of cool colors, patterns and textures. The setting fit this couple perfectly- they were fun, easy going and just a joy to work with. The Valley Ho just so happened to be hosting some events for Phoenix Fashion week (yes, I am as surprised as you to learn Phoenix has a fashion week) and they let Sherri and her bridesmaids walk the catwalk for a few photographs. I felt I needed to explain that, or the picture of Sherri on the runway may be very confusing. Thanks Sherri and Jason for a wonderful day!

Julie & JD

I meet Julie and JD at their engagement session this past Sunday. They are from Chicago and planning a destination wedding here in Phoenix, they hired me over the phone, so this was our first opportunity to meet. We shot at the Montelucia in Paradise Valley, that's also where they will be getting married. Julie has envisioned a vintage, 40's style wedding- think film noir and Rita Hayworth, how fun!
